Epidemiology in Thailand:Rising prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes. In Nakhon Si Thammarat, particularly Pak Phanang District, 9.6-15.4% of the population is affected. National diabetes incidence rate: 501.3 - 605.7 per 100,000 people.Risk of Progression: 60% of prediabetic individuals develop T2DM within 5-10 years without intervention.
